would owners with open concept kitchen care to comment on the cooking fumes situation at home when you do your cooking.. does the hood do the good job to prevent fumes/grease all over the house?

thanks.

Hi, my kitchen is not entirely a open kitchen concept, but I have 2 entrances/exits to my kitchen, and for both, i do not have doors.

The hood does not help much, and it certainly does not prevent fumes and grease all over the house. Smoke.fumes.food smell will penetrate the entire house if i do not take extra care while cooking.

To minimise the cooking fumes situation at home, i try to cover the pan/wok as much as possible while cooking. My main assistant is a huge industrial fan, which i place at one end of the kitchen, and use it blow fumes out of the kitchen (via the yard).
